About this listen

In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

Bursting with tension and big ideas, Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.

Critic reviews

“Peter F. Hamilton smashes through the crazy battlefield of space opera like a giant all-conquering war-robot. His newest is loud, proud, and beyond epic. Accept no substitutes, this is the real deal. You need Salvation, my friend.” (Ian McDonald, author of the Luna series)

give it a chance

hard to get into give 2 to three chapters before judging because once the ball gets rolling its twist and turns on every page might take 2 reads for me to fully understand because it is a little hard to follow

Another great listen

the story as usual was well written. I did have some trouble following the story at the start, but it all came together at the end. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Excellent

I love the PFH & JLee duo.. it is always good, but this was a breath of fresh air after listening to sci fi & fantasy for a few years waiting for the next duo combo special. This did not dissapoint, I already purchased 2nd novel,while not even half way thru the first.. Buy,Play,Listen,Intake & Enjoy another PFH&JLee masterpiece

Great book ruined by a terrible reading.

Every word is over enuciated and the characters sound so much alike you can't tell who is speaking in some passages. It sounds like bad noir. The book itself is great.

PFH knocks it out of the park again.

...which is a neat trick for a cricketer. The characters are gear and the ooh-ahh sci-fi is extremely compelling.

great sci-fi title

this is a really good book with some awesome concepts . The only thing that bugs me a little is the book does get kind of hard to follow. in all honesty that could be just me but I did find some things that just made it a little confusing at times. but as far as the technology concepts and characters go it doesn't disappoint with a good variety of characters and an awesome spread of well described locations. definitely worth the read I just hate that I have to wait for the next book

A bit darker

A good representation of Peter Hamiltons writing. This story has a darker outlook of the galaxy with good build up sprinkled with aspects of a detective novel. A book that gets better on the second read through.

This one disappointed me

I have loved other books by Peter F Hamilton. This one had such a complicated storyline that it was hard for me to follow it and keep straight what was going on.

John Lee is a great narrator, whom I have loved in other performances. He did not work well for me here. There are too many different characters and too many different voices for me to tell them apart with his narration. I think John the probably works best with a very small cast of characters.
